It's in there somewhere

The trouble is MB the manufacturers make vehicles complicated so even the guy with 30, 40 years experience of working on motors doesn’t stand a chance, i think this is a deliberate policy to help their dealerships.

We remember when you could break down a problem into battery, charging system, ignition system, petrol (gas) pump and carburettors etc, these could be dealt with easily as you say, without dismantling half the vehicle, with most jobs it took longer to put on overalls and get the tools out than to do the job. The good old days, i can still play cars, i have a 1972 MG.
